Application led. .Tune 3,

This invention pertains to holders adapted for holding the'wooden golftees used by many golfers for teeing golf balls.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide means Whereby a golfer may carry With him a supply of tees in a convenient manner.

Another object is to provide a. tee holderI of simple construction and by means of which the tees may be securely held and easily withdrawn.

Another object is to provide such a holder which may be carried on a belt and which may be easily and quickly mounted on the belt or removed therefrom.

Further objects Will appear from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a ball having a tee holder, embodying this invention, mounted thereon; and

Figure 2 is a view of a tee holder illustrating another embodiment of this invention.

Referring to the drawing, the tees used are usually constructed of Wood and comprise a pin 1 Which may be inserted in the ground at the point at Which the ball is to be teed. At the upper end of the pin is a flaring head 2, having a depression 3 in its upper surface, in which the ball may be set.

The holder comprises a carrier 4, which may be constructed ofa strip of leather or other suitable material in the form of a strip, preferably of a Width substantially equal to that of the .belt upon Which it is to be Worn. The carrier 4 has formed on each end thereof or attached thereto in any suitable manner an ear 5, having transverse slits 6 through which the belt 7 may be passed, as illustrated in Figure 1. These slits, therefore, provide for supporting the carrier 4 on the belt.

Stitched to the front of the carrier 4, or otherwise suitably attached thereto, is a strip 8 of leather, fabric, or other suitable material. The strip 8 may be stitched to the carrier at spaced points therealong, as illustrated, so as to provide a series of pockets 9 into which the tees may be inserted, as illusvtrated in Figure 1.

In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2, the carrier 4 is provided along its upper edge with a series of linger notches 10, one opposite each of the pockets 9, so as to facili- 1927. Serial No. 195,199.

tate removal of a. tee from a poclret. On the ends of the carrier 4, a strip 11 of leather or other suitable material is mounted by means of snap fasteners 12. The strip 11 is secured by means of the fasteners 12 to the front lof the carrier 4 and passes 'around in the rear thereof so as to provide a loop corresponding to the slits 6 of Figure l, through which the belt 7 may be passed to support the carrier.

lt Will be noted that the slits 6 or the strip 11 provide loops through which the belt may be passed for supporting the holder. In Figure 2, the strip 11 forms an open loop, which may be passed around the belt even While the latter is in place on the person of the player and the end may then be secured by means of the snap fastener 12. This provides for easy attachment of the tee holder to the belt at any time Without the necessity of removing the belt to slip the holder off. rlhe loops 11 are provided With snap fasteners at both ends so that either end may be opened and the loop passed around the belt in either direction. The finger notches 10 are positioned to receive the heads of the tees and provide both for securely seatingl the tees in the pockets and for accessibility thereof for removal. The carrier may be placed in any position on the belt and, after being mounted thereon, may be slid back or forward to any position most convenient to the player.

It is obvious that various changes may be made in the details of construction Without departing from the spirit of this invention; it is to be understood, therefore, that this invention is not limited to the specific details shown and described.
